Paramedic Heidi said tears poured down her face as she was forced to drive her vile tormentor to hospital in an ambulance after her nightmare ordeal

She told the Eastern Daily Press that the shocking incident left her feeling “devalued” as a paramedic and anxious about going to work.

Heidi spoke out as shock new figures show a staggering 17% spike on assaults on frontline ambulance staff, with more than 230 incidents reported across the east of England alone.

Heidi, based at East of England Ambulance Service Trust’s Longwater Depot, said it was getting so bad ambulances will have to carry security guards to protect paramedics.

Recalling the day she was attacked by the sex pest on her shift from hell, she said: “We had to help him up from the floor and as we were doing that he grabbed hold of my face and tried to pull me towards him to give me a kiss.”

Heidi and her colleague, a student paramedic, moved the patient’s hands and took him to the ambulance.

But the sick OAP then pawed one of Heidi’s breasts and kissed her hand time and again as she tried to measure his blood pressure.

She said he attempted to grab her other breast as well as well as her crotch.

Stunned Heidi desperately freed herself before crying her eyes out as she drove the patient to hospital.
